Several books center on violent attempts to impose hierarchies of race or belief.
In “Chain-Gang All-Stars,” Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah’s début novel, death matches between predominantly Black prisoners are broadcast live for viewers’ entertainment. The book is an indictment of the criminal-justice system, one of several titles on the longlist that center on violent attempts to impose hierarchies of race or belief. “A Council of Dolls,” by Mona Susan Power, details the cruelty of Indian boarding schools intended to “civilize” Native American children.
The ten titles on the list were chosen from four hundred and ninety-six submissions by publishers. Three authors on the longlist, Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, Jayne Anne Phillips, and Justin Torres, have been previously honored by the National Book Foundation. The full list is below.
